A five-minute walk from Piccadilly station, this is a step-free brunch spot that works well with a pram — handy when you've got a buggy and a hungry toddler in tow. Portions are enormous, so two children can happily share a plate: the pancakes come with free-flowing maple syrup, crispy bacon and sausage, and the eggs benedict with potato hash gets constant praise. Food arrives fast and piping hot, usually within fifteen minutes, which matters when someone's melting down. The staff are patient and genuinely careful about allergies and intolerances, adapting dishes without fuss. High chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options are all sorted, plus outdoor seating. Worth knowing: it's very busy at weekend brunch time, and the upstairs deck is open to the outside, so it can feel chilly.
